One general said: "Committee, this opportunity is rare! If the Japanese discover it, they will clear the fixed-pointer at the airport in just half a day."

Another general said: "Commissioner, please immediately order our air force immediately bomb the Japanese airport in Wuhan."

The old man said: "We have a few pounds and pounds, I know! We will definitely not have a good effect by relying on our planes to blow it up. I want the Soviet pilots to carry out this mission. You can contact them and ask them to do it."

"yes!"

After the two generals left, the old man said to Director Dai: "This time, the information has been known. If the bombing of Wuhan is successful, both the Japanese and the Chinese will turn their attention to your Military Control Commission. You must be careful and never let them find Zhou Yun."

Director Dai said: "Don't worry, the radio station we contacted with Zhou Yun is a special radio station, and the radio operator is also single, on duty for a long time, and does not leave the Military Commission's office building. Moreover, I have arranged a few people to monitor and protect her around her."

The old man said: "You should notify the people in Wuhan immediately and prepare to reconnaise the situation of our bombing of the Japanese airport in Wuhan and report it back immediately."

"yes!"

After the July 7 Incident, the War of Resistance Against Japan broke out in full swing. The Chinese Air Force launched a desperate air battle with the Japanese army. The Chinese Air Force originally had a small number of aircraft and did not have its own aviation industry. All aircraft equipment relied on imports and could not be replenished in time. It only took more than two months to carry out the operation. By October 1937, there were only 81 aircraft left, some of which were waiting to be repaired. By November, the Chinese Air Force had only more than 30 aircraft available for combat, and it was no longer able to launch combat against the Japanese army.

At this time, the Soviet Union extended a helping hand in time and formed a Soviet volunteer air force to fight in November 1937. It started fighting in December and assisted a batch of aircraft. By early 1938, the Chinese Air Force had 390 combat aircraft, including 230 I-15 and I-16 fighters, and bombers were db-3, cb and other types, with 160.

On September 5, 1939, the First United Air Force of the Japanese Navy returned to China to rest and replenish, and entered Hankou Airport. In this way, the Hankou Aviation Base concentrated more than 200 various aircraft from the First, Second United Air Force of the Japanese Navy and the Third Army Flight Regiment, and most of the Japanese aircraft that attacked mainland China took off from here.

In the Chinese Communist Party, the Soviet Air Force decided to operate a large-scale attack on Hankou Airport, striving to weaken the enemy's air force's vitality. However, they have never obtained accurate information, so they have not taken action for a long time.

It was heard that the Chinese military had internal support at the Japanese airport and had set up fixed-pointers. The head of the Soviet Air Force immediately formulated a combat plan with the Chinese side.

At 12:20 pm that day, the Soviet Volunteer Air Force bomber fleet dispatched 29 db-3 bombers to attack Wuhan. Due to the role of a fixed-pointer, they pointed out the key points of the Japanese airport and the central nervous system. In addition, the Japanese army was not expected to have sufficient long-distance attack capabilities against the Sino-Soviet Air Force, so they were not on guard around the Hankou Airport. It was not until the Sino-Soviet planes flew to Wuhan that they were rushing to prepare for air interception.

At this time, six newly received attack aircraft from the Japanese Navy Kikatsu Air Force had just arrived at the airport. Major General No. 243, the commander of the First United Airlines Force, and other officers, greeted each other in front of the combat command post and listened to the report of the commander who received the new aircraft.

Suddenly, more than 50 bombs and incendiary bombs fell from the sky, and the airport suddenly turned into a sea of ​​fire. Deputy captain of the Japanese Navy Kisugizu Air Force, Deputy captain of the Japanese Navy Nakasa Ogawa Nakasa and five non-commissioned officers were killed on the spot, Mizusa Tsukahara was blown off his left arm, 12 non-commissioned officers were seriously injured, and Commander of the Kazuya Air Force, Colonel Omori Mioyu and 25 officers and soldiers were also injured.

More than 30 Japanese aircraft were blown up, and the oil depot and aircraft equipment depot were also blown up. The Japanese army suffered extremely heavy losses, and only one Soviet aircraft was injured during the battle.

At 15:30 pm, 20 bombers from the Soviet Volunteer Air Force appeared again over Wuhan and launched an attack on the Japanese airport with the sun on their backs.

Three Japanese fighter jets on the air were alerted to intercept them, and the seven carrier-based fighter jets on standby on the ground also took off urgently, but it was too late, a large number of bombs poured out, and thick smoke rose from the airport.

During this bombing, about 40 main aircraft of the 13th Navy Air Force were destroyed, and 20 army aircraft were also damaged. This was the biggest damage caused by the Japanese Air Force since the July 7 Incident (referring to the War of Aggression).

In addition, the Sino-Soviet Air Force also destroyed an oil depot at the Japanese airport on the same day, more than 40 cars and 30,000 boxes of ammunition. The enemy land and naval officers and soldiers were injured and killed more than 300 people. The Soviet Volunteer Air Force only injured 2 planes, and all returned safely.

The two air strikes caused serious losses to the Japanese army. In order to retaliate, the Japanese army dispatched 72 bombers in Wuhan the next day, commanded by Colonel Okuda Kiriji, the commander of the 13th Air Force and the "Bombing King" Colonel Okuda Kirishi personally commanded the air strike to Chengdu.

The Chinese Air Force ground intelligence network learned in a timely manner that due to the sufficient early warning time, the Chinese Air Force aircraft fleet was notified to have a high advantage in advance and wait for the arrival of Japanese aircraft.

The enemy aircraft group was divided into two parts. Chinese Air Force fighters fought one after another and shot down four enemy attack aircraft in one fell swoop.

Among them, Deng Congkai, deputy captain of the 29th Squadron of the 5th Battalion, bit the enemy leader's plane and chased him to the sky above the junction of Renshou and Jianyang counties south of Chengdu, and finally shot down the enemy plane. However, his own fighter plane was also shot in many places, falling into Xiangjiachang, Renshou County, and the plane was destroyed and people were killed.

It was found afterwards that Deng Congkai shot down Colonel Oda Hikuji's landline, and all the enemies on board were killed. In the wreckage of the plane, maps marked with detailed locations in various locations in Chengdu, as well as seals of Oda Hikuji, daggers, etc.

The killing of Kiriji Okuda was also another heavy blow to the Japanese Navy aviation force.

In the official residence, the old man who received the news excitedly drank a small cup of red wine during supper with an exception.

These days, the old man couldn't sleep at night. He looked at the Wuhan map. On that map, there was a black pushpin on the ground at the Japanese Air Force Airport.

The old man was not alone, the whole Chongqing was cheering! The whole Chengdu was cheering, and the whole China was cheering. The students took to the streets, holding the portrait of the martyr Deng Congkai in his hands, shouting: "I sacrifice to Xuanyuan with my blood! One hundred thousand young people and one hundred thousand troops!"

Many students sign up for the army, and their first choice is the Chinese Air Force.

Zhou Yun was very happy to see the news of the Wuhan air battle in the newspaper. He also saw the news of Deng Congkai's death. There was also a portrait of Deng Congkai in the newspaper, a very energetic Chinese soldier. In order to defend the motherland, he sprinkled his blood on the blue sky of the motherland.

It’s easy to leave! Hero Deng Congkai! We will follow your steps!

If there was a Chinese Temple in heaven, I believe we would meet there!
